There are so many tablets on the market that it can be difficult trying to decide which one to buy. Here, guest blogger and tech-toy junky Doug Pagnutti gives his take on which pass the test for the average consumer: My favourite one so far is the Asus 10″ Transformer.

A Week of Waiting Rooms
This past Sunday, September 6, 2009, my wonderful mother-in-law, Dawn Kenny, passed away. Last November this upbeat, energetic woman was diagnosed with an exceedingly rare form of cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) at the age of 48. There has been no shortage of exclamations from friends and family: “It’s so unfair!” “How can it be?!”Continue reading “A Week of Waiting Rooms”
The Metcalfe Genes and Training
For those of you who don’t know, my mother is a super-hero: she is an incredibly good researcher and advocate who can clearly and concisely get her point across on paper and in a meeting. Since I was a child, she has used her gift to right wrongs and keep people (like me) safe fromContinue reading “The Metcalfe Genes and Training”
The votes are in: The Masked Avengers have won!
We are two days away from the American election and it’s getting pretty exciting. The local middle schools here in Green River, WY have already held their mock elections, participating in the National Student/Parent Mock Election Day. The elections were pretty close, but the Republican McCain/Palin team won at both schools (161-103 at one andContinue reading “The votes are in: The Masked Avengers have won!”
Meanwhile back home in Canada…
There are definitely some interesting political happenings here in the US – what with the presidential race and all that… But in my book nothing beats good ol’ Canadian politico-cultural satire. My dad – ever trawling the Web – forwarded this video to me. If you have ever lived in Quebec or another part ofContinue reading “Meanwhile back home in Canada…”
Human Slingshot
I am a little worried about what we’ll find in Rock Springs, but my more immediate fear is that the immigration officer at the border will reject us. If that happens, though, I have a plan: we’re going to slingshot across the border! Doug and I were watching a show called Mythbusters on Discovery ChannelContinue reading “Human Slingshot”
Crossing Over
The impending move to Wyoming is finally at hand. We first found out about the posting for Doug’s new job back in early July, but it’s taken two months to get all the paperwork squared away and to convince them that we’d actually prefer to move sooner rather than later. Bouncing from family home toContinue reading “Crossing Over”
Ongoing Mysteries
Doug and I are still living day-to-day and week-to-week regarding the move to Wyoming. Everyone I’ve spoken with thinks it’s very strange we don’t know when we’re actually moving or where we’ll be living when we get down there. Me too! I knew there would be a lot of hoops to jump through and headachesContinue reading “Ongoing Mysteries”
Vancouver hammer incident another random act of violence
A few hours ago I received a disturbing message from one of my friends in Vancouver. Just after 10:30pm at Majestic, a popular gay nightspot on Davie St., a man came in brandishing a hammer. He injured several unsuspecting staff members and patrons. As my friend said, “there was blood everywhere.” Luckily, my friend wasContinue reading “Vancouver hammer incident another random act of violence”
